Text 3 Nature reserve land

A nature reserve is a protected area  for wildlife, flora, fauna or features of geological or other special interest. Nature reserves are designated by government institutions in some countries, or by private landowners. There are around 100 nature reserves (Russian:  zapovednik) in Russia, covering some 330,000 km² (~127,400 sq mi), or about 1.4% of the country's total area. A few of them predate the October Revolution of 1917, but most have been created during the Soviet Union era. There are also natural protected areas where only certain species are protected. They are zakazniks.

The status of the protected areas in Russia is governed by the laws of the Russian Federation

The law establishes the following categories of protected areas:

  State nature zapovedniks, including biosphere reserves (biosphere zapovedniks)

  National parks

  Nature parks

  State nature zakazniks

  Natural Monuments

  Dendrological parks and botanical gardens

  Health recuperation areas and health resorts
